Answer 1

1. pueda. Poder is an irregular verb, so the conjugation doesn't follow usual rules, you can check all the forms online until you learn them by memory. This is the subjunctive present form, meaning it's a conditional or hypothetical situation that is happening, as they still don't know if they know anyone and until they do they can't get help.

2. hable. This one is also in subjunctive present form, since the person they need must be able to speak Spanish but they haven't figured out who.

3. preste. This one is also in subjunctive present form, since the person they need must be able to lend them money but they haven't figured out who.

4. se llama. This one is indicative present form, as it indicates something that is happening for sure, they figured out who can help and it's someone who meets all of the previous requirements.

5. trabaja. This one is also in subjunctive present form, as it is a fact they are indicating or stating.
